Immuno-Oncology beyond TILs: Unleashing TILCs

Cancer Cell. 2020 Apr 13;37(4):428-430. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2020.03.021.

Abstract

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are detected in multiple tumor types, but their contribution to tumor immunity remains unclear. Moral et al. show that a subset of tumor ILCs (TILCs) may participate in an organ-specific immune response and can be unleashed by PD-1 blockers to sustain tumor-specific T cell responses.
